7th of 12, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, at youthful end of mature spectrum, palate developing nicely, flavours more plum than cassis, generous with richness and power of top vintage, upside, 15+ years. F (17.5).

Superb nose typical of aged bordeaux. Wine was elegant, tertiary on palate, not a lot of fruit left, a couple years left here to drink with still some tension and life. Overall this was good

Perfectly stored bottle (1/6) and fully integrated tannins. Red and black fruits, not overly intense, with all the expected flavours of an aged Bordeaux; forest floor, tobacco box, old leather and cedar casks. Lovely wine and picked up for £40 a bottle!

Terrific left banker. Patience is a virtue here with a central core of fruit surrounded by softening tannins.No rush on properly stored bottles Grade of A-.

Ich hatte die Flasche schon vor einem Jahr geöffnet! Damals war ich mit ihm nicht zufrieden und habe die halbe Flasche wieder in den Schrank gestellt.Jetzt wieder hervorgeholt und ich bin sehr überrascht wie er sich entwickelt hat. Ein unterschätzter Wein den ich offensichtlich am Höhepunkt erwischt habe. Hat eigentlich alles was ein Bordeaux haben sollte. Auch meiner Frau hat er gemundet. Überraschung zu Ostern !!!
